With no context whatsoever my first thought was it was one of those "uh oh, if the thermal paste is on my hand, then that must mean I accidentally put the cum on my cpu..."

I will be deleting this shortly I am sorry

Edit: Most upvotes I've gotten on Lemmy. Listen to the guy below. Live your truth, lemmings.

Dude could've gotten vanilla anywhere, but instead spent his time and energy to go on a quest with his friend to get the ice cream he really wanted. Then he booted him for wanting a "plain" flavor. YTA.

Thanks so much for the material! I'm going to comb through these tomorrow.

Oh I understand how they work, I actually made an AI chatbot for a client of mine. Now, to be fair, it was mostly just fiddling with and fine-tuning a prompt in a WordPress plugin. It's called AI Engine by Meow Apps. Super cool plugin, but It was the most frustrating project of my life because despite being given clear and consistent instructions, and having a dedicated database to pull answer from, it still just made shit up. I set the temperature to .1 and it lost all personality and still made shit up.

Finally got it to a usable place where it basically was just walking the user through a quiz but, yeah, I definitely take it with a grain of salt lol

I get that, and for sure always need to verify it's results, but SEO has turned looking information up into a slog of AI articles and lists.

I very rarely am able to find the answers to my questions anymore. And I say that as someone who has always joked that my job was a professional Googler. Whereas I used to be able to search key words or vague snippets of something from memory or lookup a hyper-specific question and find a solid answer within a couple minutes, now the first 2 pages are ads and "websites" with "articles" that are just vessels for more ads.

Using something like ChatGPT gets me a little closer to that old level of access. The hand that feeds I suppose...

Anyways, thanks for the tip. I'll check it out!

Could you recommend any? I've been using ChatGPT and it's been helpful, but I'd love something more specific to the task.

As an example, there was some kind of event happening downtown near me last night. Really bad traffic and roads closed. I tried figuring out what was going on. Checked the city's site, the Facebook page, googled around, couldn't find anything. I asked ChatGPT and it told me it was the annual Christmas parade that started at 7:30, it's route, and where I could catch it from where I was. Say what you will about AI, but that was unbelievably helpful.

My theory is that it's just that episode of Its Always Sunny from the new season. Dennis is placed on a customer service loop and eventually gets so frustrated with robot receptionists, scripted tier 1 support, and a system designed to waste our time and pit us against each other, that he tracks down the CEO of the car company at his beach house and rips his heart out of his chest and eats it.

So maybe someone should try that next time?

It's just getting more and more hidden in Oblivion

Cause Lemmy is the same 15 dudes in a trenchcoat.

I went to high school in Manassas and there was an interesting blend. Like you had yor ignorant, racist, seemingly country assholes, but their parents work in DC for the government and make 300k a year. The older generation seemed more liberal or old school "fiscal" Republican, but my generation seemed full of the pampered edgelord and entitled frat bros that eat up trumps garbage.

Black and White for sure. I still get nostalgic for that one.

Idk man. It's been 10 years since this meme of a presidential candidate went too far. This might be normal now.
